this test on Oprah-she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this
stuff out. Read on, this is very interesting! Don't be overly sensitive!The

Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're
seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire
you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating
to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile,rather impulsive
personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always
the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try
anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy
being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, always interesting;
someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently
well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind,
considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help
them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They
see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes
friends too quickly or easily, but someone whose extremely loyal to friends you
do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know
you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that
it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as pain staking and fussy. They see you as
very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really
surprise them if you ever did something of the moment, expecting you to examine
everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They
think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive,someone who
needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who
doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier
who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only
those who know you well know that you aren't.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, always interesting;

them out.



that sounds like me

[*Lifesonite]

H made me take it awhile ago

[Devil's Advocate]

I scored 44, and the description is nothing like me. Well, almost nothing. I fit better into the 21-30 group.


What I wanna know is: how was this test invented? What does the speed of my walk, to pick a random example, say about my personality?

[Panacea]

I scored a 43, and was told that it's a pretty accurate description.

[*Lifesonite]

If you walk fast, you are in a hurry all the time. If you walk slow, you are a slouch.

42 points The answer is 42!

[*Lifesonite]

If you get up too early you are always pushing yourself too much, not healthy. If you sleep in a little bit then you are a slouch.

[Fridge]

47...

Bollocks but fun

[Devil's Advocate]

If you walk fast, you are in a hurry all the time. If you walk slow, you are a slouch.

I'd say it has more to do with physiology. If you're tall, you'll have a longer stride.

[D'Anconia]

37. An accurate description.

How this test really works:

Confirmation bias, which is a form of selective thinking, leads to subjective validation.
